IN tank PAR for Mitras

[AQD_ottawa]

This needed posting! Many thanks for this info its simple awesome

Readings taken with an Apogee PAR meter, all pumps turned off in my tank. Tank had a water change yesterday. To keep the readings consistent I placed the meter's sensor in the tank and took a reading in High Efficiency mode on the Mitras then without moving the sensor changes the lights to High Output mode and took the reading. This was repeated at each level so the results are comparable with my situation.

Tank Specs; 140x75x55 deep (water level approx 57)

PAR readings in High Efficiency mode
240 (sandbed)
312
368
576 (water level)

PAR readings in High Output mode
340 (sandbed)
450
560
810 (water level)

What are the par readings at each end of the tank, your only showing them under the lights

Gazz in the third picture he's turned the outer most lights off and is only using the center light which should indicate what the #'s would be further out if all lights were ON which is how most tanks would be running. This exceeds how the light will be mounted in most applications if I'm reading it correctly.
